Which characters, in both Marvel and DC, are equivalent to or more powerful than Starro the Conqueror regarding only telepathy?

Any scans of Starro's telepathic feats?

Casually mind-breaking Despero when he tried a psychic attack on him and having hold of a galaxy of minds at a given time.

bentley and gs, this forum is slowly back from the dead

As the Star Wars forum dies in flames yes.

Next you know Betageuze and Digi show up to discuss comics

Starro doesn't have what I would call telepathy. Yes he can control minds but he does so through a parasitic symbiotic relationship. If one of his stars isn't on someone's face he can't just delve into their minds. He didn't actually mentally attack despero, Despero simply couldn't get to him through the millions of Minds linked to him through his spors

Yes bro!

Come through with that knowledge!

If what Beatboks is saying is the case then thats quite the limitation, having to have physical contact with a being either himself or through his spores in order to engage in basic telepathic feats even average telepaths take for granted.

Jarro, an offshoot of Starro that was kept in a jar by Batman, is apparently the strongest psychic in the DCU.

And doesn't block through his spores or uses physical contact.

Cool. Any scans of his telepathic prowess without him or his spores being attached to someone?

They placed him in a jar which amped him 5 fold.

Then he shielded the heroes from the Batman who laughs and all his little Batmen:

Then was able to track Wally through the multiverse:

And he was able to control a living...city. Bit meh, really, but to show he wasn't attached:

And again, this was just Jarro. He's like a kid version of Starro, who was raised by Batman.

Not quite.

Their strength is his strength.

More scans, just to show Starro not using his spores:

Against Deathstroke (small potatoes, I agree, but to just to show he'snot touching):

And when they got to Colu, they found tens of thousands of worlds, all shrunk down:

Starro reached into their minds and calmed them all down:

MMH is there, but Brainiac had tech that was blocking his TP, so it was all Starro there.

Marvel telepaths normally scale to the Phoenix force or are just flat out more powerful than its users:

So the spores are ways to extend his range of influence but he doesn't depend on them for his mind control or telepathic communication. Its just that with them he can reach more minds than he could without their use. Cool

POTENTIALLY. I mean, I showed him linking with tenS of thousandS of worlds, casually, without his spores. Granted, he was in the same room as them, but he also later shields all their minds when they get brought back into 'normal' size.

And whilst not explicit, heavily implied that all those worlds are inhabited with sentient beings (that's what Brainiac does, anyway). Assuming an easy billion per planet, and multiplied by 20,000 (as a low figure), and we get 20 trillion minds, which he casually does there.
